X. Benedict Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 The last thing Lindy Ruff expected to see in a training camp scrimmage was Patrick Kaleta being helped off the ice by the team’s medical staff. But that was the case tonight, after Kaleta took a shot to the head from Thomas Vanek as he came out of the corner with the puck. It was an out of character play for Vanek, and one that surprised Ruff as well. Via Kevin Snow Was anyone there?
chileanseabass Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Is Shanahan going to suspend Vanek? :rolleyes:
billsrcursed Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Hope Vanek wasn't counting on Kaleta's vote for the "C"... Though I'd suspect it was probably more Kaleta's doing than it was Vanek's.
korab rules Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Is Shanahan going to suspend Vanek? :rolleyes: Why? Did he call someone a bundle of sticks?
X. Benedict Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 Mike Harrington reports the same thing on Kaleta....however.... http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sabres/ "Ruff has been joking with the media this month about constant questions regarding his team's vacant captaincy. It had been a few days since we talked about it so I asked him again Wednesday night and we (finally) got some news -- the Sabres will put the C on someone's jersey overseas." Said Ruff: "You don't have an opportunity very often to name a captain in Europe." That pretty much tips the hand for me. There will be much Fröhlichkeit for some Sabre that can pronounce Fröhlichkeit.
wonderbread Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Good stuff here! So if someone is going to be named in Germany. Das ist gut! Tomas Vanek. Jawohl! (May i be the first person to decry any upcoming videos with Hitler's opinion.) I can see Lindy right now with that winkle in his eye and his blond whiskers blowing in the ice house breeze. This season is gonna get good.

kevharv Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Wednesday, I believe they will be in Manheim. They will be in Manheim on Tuesday. I was planning to go to the game - it's right down the road from where I live-, but it's $70 each and I already have my tickets for the game in Berlin next Saturday.
ROC Sabres Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Anyone have a video of the hit? I really want to see it. Not that I think it's funny Kaleta got hurt but the fact that Vanek laid him out in practice is.

I'm rather curious to see if this was just a freak accident, or if suddenly Vanek is going to start laying people out on a regular basis... :)
X. Benedict Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 It is time to put Vanek and Boyes on a named line together. ....."The Wrecking Crew"

korab rules Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 But isn't Hecht the Sabres only German born player? Might end up being him if they are doing it in Germany Umm - Ehrhoff?
apuszczalowski Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Umm - Ehrhoff? Oh yeah, forgot that he was german too. Guess it could be Hecht, or the new guy.
korab rules Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Oh yeah, forgot that he was german too. Guess it could be Hecht, or the new guy. We are creating the perfect team - they will dominate the world!
X. Benedict Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 But isn't Hecht the Sabres only German born player? Might end up being him if they are doing it in Germany Let's see.....Euro players on the Sabres.....Vanek, Sekera, Hecht, Erhoff, Leino, Enroth..... German speakers.......Vanek, and Erhoff...Hecht. My bet is that it isn't Erhoff or Hecht.
MattPie Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 We are creating the perfect team - they will dominate the world! Sabres, Sabres uber alles!
papazoid Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 it was a CHEAP SHOT !! call it what it is....he sucker hit him. theres more to this than they are leading on to.
inkman Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 How many people think Vanek is German?
Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 How many people think Vanek is German? Not me, but I'm sure he speaks a form of the German language ... maybe that is close enough.
spndnchz Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 How many people think Vanek is German? He's actually of Czech (both parents were Czech's) decent but born in Austria.
MattPie Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 He's actually of Czech (both parents were Czech's) decent but born in Austria. Austria is Germany's Canada. :)
ROC Sabres Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 Austria is Germany's Canada. :) So Austrian's say "ja" at the end of each sentence then?
X. Benedict Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Posted September 29, 2011 So Austrian's say "ja" at the end of each sentence then? They eat dill pickle chips and shop at Austrian Tire?
BuffaloSoldier2010 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 How many people think Vanek is German? Austrian. Hopefully most here are familiar with geography and understand why thats being touted as similar.
